As a member of the Palm Beach County Bar Association since 2015, I am eager to serve on the Board of Directors and further contribute to our organization. My leadership roles have strengthened my connection to our legal community and allowed me to make a meaningful impact. During my time on the YLS, I fostered professional development, mentorship, and camaraderie among young attorneys. I also successfully increased sponsorship funding, enabling greater support for YLS causes. As past Chair of the Law Week Committee, I promoted public legal education and access to justice. If elected, I will bring leadership and collaboration to advance the Bar Association’ s mission. My priorities include: member engagement, professional growth, access to justice and collaboration. I am committed to our association’ s success and confident in my ability to contribute as a Board member. Thank you for your consideration.

As a Board member of the Palm Beach County Bar Association, I have and will continue to be dedicated to increasing benefits for and addressing concerns of our members, maintaining the strong relationship between our Circuit’ s bench and bar, and finding new ways to enhance the Palm Beach County community’ s knowledge of the legal profession. I believe my past leadership position on various committees and sections of PBCBA have helped me further these goals, including serving as Co-Chair of the Judicial Relations Committee from 2022-2023 and 2024-2025, President of the Young Lawyers Section from 2021-2022( on the YLS Board from 2016-2021), and Co-Chair of the Bench Bar Conference in 2021.

I have had the honor of being on the Board for 3 years and a part of PBCBA for over 10 years. Born and raised in Palm Beach County. Former YLS President, President- Elect, Secretary, and Treasurer. Also have served on countless bench bar subcommittees and YLS subcommittees. Currently a Florida Bar Young Lawyer’ s Division Board of Governor. I really enjoy my service, especially interacting with our members and judiciary, working with our PHENOMENAL bar staff, fostering professionalism and cultivating camaraderie within our legal community. I attend and am approachable at any event to all members, both new and old, to encourage and promote involvement, exchange stories and laughs, offer advice and listen to thoughts and opinions on how members and judiciary feel the PBCBA should be run. If you have any questions or comments, my cell phone number is 561-758-9973 and email is mkranz @ smithball. com. Getting the opportunity to run again is a true blessing, and I really appreciate your consideration and your vote!
